A Will is the single most important document you can have in place for your family. Choice Wills makes the process simple, personal and legally watertight.
A Will is a written record of your instructions as to how your assets, everything you own, are to be distributed when you die. Without one, the law decides, not you.
Choice Wills provides a professional and friendly will writing service across Northampton and the surrounding areas, coming to you at home or meeting you online at a time that suits.
Our experienced advisers guide you through the entire process, ensuring your Will is tailored to your personal circumstances and fully legally valid. We also offer ongoing reviews, so your Will stays up to date as your life changes.
UK adults don’t have a Will
Around two thirds of adults in the UK are leaving their families vulnerable to financial stress, legal complications and uncertainty, simply by not having a Will in place. It’s one of the most important steps you can take, and we’re here to make it easy.
If you die without a Will, you are considered to have died intestate. That means the government decides how your estate is divided, according to strict legal rules that may bear no resemblance to your actual wishes.
The consequences can be severe. Loved ones you wanted to provide for may receive nothing, while others you had no intention of benefiting could inherit everything. In the worst cases, it can result in the forced sale of the family home.
A professionally written Will puts you firmly in control.
Partners, stepchildren and close friends have no automatic right to inherit without a Will.
Intestacy proceedings can delay access to your assets, leaving your family in financial limbo.
In some situations, the intestacy rules can force the sale of property to settle an estate.
Without a Will, you cannot formally nominate who should care for your children if you pass away.
A properly written Will gives you complete control over what happens when you’re no longer here.
Choose trusted people to manage your estate after your death, ensuring your wishes are carried out correctly and efficiently.
Decide exactly who receives your property, money and possessions, including specific gifts to individuals or charities.
Nominate who you trust to care for your children if the worst should happen. Without a Will, this decision is left to the courts.
A clear, legally binding Will removes ambiguity and protects your family from conflict and costly legal battles at an already difficult time.
